Subject: Change of permission of file #pico?????#

I'm using pine version 3.93. 

I would like to change the 'default' permission of the #pico?????# file.
The permission for the dead.letter is fine but I don't like that the 
#pico?????# file is readable by everybody. 

-rw-------   1 susanne  phd         1419 Jan  9 13:32 dead.letter
-rw-r--r--   1 susanne  phd         6031 Jan  9 13:28 #pico11763#

As the file is automatically created and the ????? changes depending on 
the process number of pine, I don't have any idea how to change the 
permission. 

Thanks a lot, 

           Susanne

Hmm, maybe your umask allows this?
Mine is set to "066" - thus removing
premissions "rw" for group and world.
Maybe that's what your want?!
